Research & DevelopmentGot a well-founded knack with ROM hacking? Love reverse-engineering the Pokémon games? Or perhaps you love your assembly language. This is the spot for polling and gathering your ideas, and then implementing them! Share your hypothesis, get ideas from others, and collaborate to create!

Well that would be very unethical to actually create a program with a hex editor? First of all it is mainly for simple byte edits or finding something to use. You would not use it actually to create a full program. You see once you actually find the offset to what you need you can make a program programmed in something else read this if you can get it to load the file etc.

If we're still talking about map hacking, I'd say it's totally possible! For instance, Super Mario 64. There is no part of the game that is entirely in 2D. The only things are enemies. Super Mario 64 has a map editor, called Toad's Tool, and it works, even though the game is in 3D. We can do the same for Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver. All we need to do is find the tilesets, textures, and implement them in a tool that can copy that code and overwrite that texture. Combined with the ability to hack the music (Maginus, I envy you!), the ability to find graphics and sprites, the trainer data, and the magnificent genius (not me, I don't have a clue on how to hack a DS game, I stick with GBA) we all are, we can make a DS hack completely possible!

I was wondering is it possible to replace sprites yet on hg/ss i know that some people have been able to replace lugia sprites, and dialga sprites.
I was wondering because I recently made a ash's squirtle sprite sheet, but I have no knowledge of hg/ss hacking to upload this.

I think almost every flashcard runs HS/SS. Some require patching or the use of cheats, others (the ones getting updated - M3iZero f.e.) don't require any prepatching or the use of cheats. The anti-piracy gets patched when the game loads/runs.

You can change the Pokémon sprites with PokéDSPic (Platinum) if the first post is correct:

For the OWs you can use PokéTEX (in combination with TileMolester for quicker editing).

i wonder when Hg/Ss tools are made Which rom will be hacked cause Fr is hacked more then Lg Ruby more then saphire Etc i think Diamond was more then pearl or something so i think Heartgold might be the next on up

Whichever one the hacker chooses. Proper tools for the 4th gen should work with either version because the offsets are relative to a file in the ROM's FS instead of the entire ROM.

Well, Ruby is also edited more than Emerald, but Platinum was edited much more than Diamond. Like Poryhack said, those restrictions that exist because not all 3rd gen tools work for all roms, are removed in 4th gen tools that properly use the NDS file system.

looks like no one wants to hack the japanese version of the game. I, myself am waiting for the english version. once i beat the game i'll hack it. it should be just as easy as d/p/p. also Prmatt11, where did you get these pics? i mean whitch folder?

Hello, I´m a rom-hacker of Pokemon games for less than a month.
I have begun to change Pokémon SS and thanks for your comments on this post, I managed to change many things.
I've heard that there is a program to edit the Pokémon from the trainers, which was also used for Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.
Does anyone know what it is? "And someone has a tutorial for that program to SS?

Thanks
Forgive my broken English.

Hello to all the hacker site and thanks for all your information about modifying Soul Pokemon Silver, but I have a big problem.
I edit the content evo.narc not a/0/3/4 and how.
Could anyone help and give me a list of Pokémon SS hex?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry if I do not understand my Engrish well, I'm using Google's translators.

Hmm, something which has interested me is that a lot of people are concentrating on getting maps edited now well I think some other graphical aspects could be looked at as well such as title screen recoding (editing), Something similar to UnLZ (not sure if there is xd), and whatever you guys can think of. I think that the UnLZ idea would just be for sprites since a lot of the graphics are 3 dimensional and would require some extensive editing. I think this is quite interesting though and really do hope you guys make some more steps in this field. PPRE looks pretty cool so far, good luck on that SCV :3
